Your child has learned the fundamentals of reading and writing in their previous grades and is now ready to flourish through grade 3.
As your child enters 3rd, they are set to go beyond learning how to read and be expected to gain fluency and comprehension. Soon you'll notice your child reading for pleasure, and that's great news, right? Because this becomes a strong foundation for your child's more advanced language skills later in life.
Your little one is halfway through elementary school and may have already become an independent reader and learner. Grade 3 students advance from learning essential reading and writing skills to mastering them and taking on more complex skills.
So let's maintain that spirit and journey towards learning and understanding advanced language skills in grade 3. Remember that the grade 3 curriculum can differ from state to state, but a common theme and pattern is in place to ensure every child meets the overall education standards.
Reading
Writing
The coming year is going to be one of upskilling and learning. So before school begins, you can help your child hone their reading and writing skills with simple activities at home. You can also ask your child to attempt to read a slightly more challenging book than what they're used to.
For writing practice, have your child write their favorite stories but add their own plot twists. You can also ask them to write letters to their friends or grandparents. Acknowledging and rewarding their efforts encourages them to develop a deep love for reading and writing.
